Dave Mangin has a convoluted history with boats and other silent sports, starting with his love at first float at the age of 5 in an aluminum canoe. While procrastinating for his college classes, he built his first cedar strip canoe in his brother's garage. Five years later he lived on the floor of a boat shop in Ithaca, NY for several months as he started building a rowing wherry for a trip down the Mississippi River (The 1753 mile trip happened in 2007). From 2008-2010, he managed the boat shop and taught a variety of classes at a charter high school in Central Milwaukee, where he christened 6 boats with students: 3 plywood skiffs, a stitch and glue wherry, and two cedar strip canoes. After settling in Nelsonville, WI he needed a car-toppable boat that could handle the great lakes. A kayak was in order. His kayak took 3.5 years of intermittent work to build, a barn to partially renovate into a wood shop, and the process was augmented with educational programming. Then, in the summer of 2022, he was able to christen Endeavor and get on the water to continue a sectional paddle from his abode on the Tomorrow River to his childhood home in Green Bay and beyond to Lake Michigan. |

Paddling the Potowatomi Islands
BWCA - main floor Sat 1:30pm-2:15pm
After building a rowboat for a trip downt the Mississippi River, Dave Mangin endeavored to built a kayak for a different trip through the Great Lakes and out to the Eastern Seaboard. After making it to the tip of Door County, this past summer he paddled from Rock Island, WI to Garden, MI.
Dave's presentation describes that beautiful trip into some remote parts of the Wisconsin/Michagan interface, the Potowatomi Islands. Limestone outcroppings of the Niagara Escarpment, abandoned lighthouses, and iridescent waters made this beautiful trip especially picturesque. A stop at the restored smelting town of Fayette, MI was a historical gem.
